Hmmm I see anyway still a movie. 5 players and doing what
Predator is supposed to be OP that's the Point
Normally no but this is the Predator we are talking about here, the second you enter the hunting grounds you should be feeling the dread of being hunted by something higher up on the food chain.
Fire team has 2 ways to win, Predator has 1 but despite that one of those 2 ways should be the harder option and itās not the escaping one.
A gameplay where these fireteam wins 90% of time isnt either.
While all fair in true I think the fact you can parry a combi stick with a knife is a bit overboard and they can defuse his wrist computer ? Kinda ruins that aspect
No kidding.
āDuuuh Iāll just defuse this alien device Iāve never seen before or been trained to recognize. How hard could it possibly be? Oh an alien language I am not versed in? Pfft no biggie still gonna defuse itā!
I would feel dread and despair if most predators that try to hunt me werent retarded morons trying to rush in meleeing (combistick or claws, doesnt matter) anything they see and dying few seconds later after being filled with few kilos of lead into their head.
Predators are supposed to be hunters that outsmart their prey, not a silly tree hobos that run at you with a broken glass bottle 24/7.
Use your mobility, harass from distance, injure FTs and then go for the kill.
Instead most predators that I face try to pop few casters in, maybe shot a net or two then rush in with their slow ass zerker with a combi and get melted 2 or 3 swings in by 4 people shooting at once. Hell, often get parried, due to not using element of surprise but just rushing inā¦ Christ.
If these would be the apex predators, I would be more afraid of a wild duck in the Predator universe, at least these ducks would be much more intellectually capable of hunting.
From what I see you want to fullfil your power
fantasy without actually trying much.
I dont think thats how it works, especially when you are facing other players who are not willing to be your punching bags.

ā¦ and reinforced and chase/outrun you when you second wind, then just as easily avoid the nuke blast.
Reinforcements need a tweak, never said that.
All I was talking about was just initial engagements, not some broke mechanics that both sides have, but mostly FT (abundance of resources, low effort Reinforcements with full supplies).

I cant belive that anyone playing fireteam thinks they are doing anything special this pile of crap takes no skill to play as fireteam like legit none its a slap in the face and crucial days tick by with no word from the devs this games done allready we can all dream of what could have been but i think we all know a week from now this games over and we are stuck holding another pile of turd
But even in cases like the movie I like to lay out sensors and traps around areas the fire team fights in even one game I chased after two members one running into a bear trap I slammed down on him and wailed with my combi only for him to pull out a knife and party everything Iām fine with a hit or two to help get away but the entire time? Thatās bs a predator as the APEX HUNTER out staminaās any human any day only for his friend to run up and gun me in the back and god shot my head off before detonation
Why not using your caster instead?
Or swinging once or twice, retreating and downing them from afar?
Why not doing that and using your technology to your advantage instead of acting like a primitive savage by using melee?
Act like a Hunter, not like a butcher
Yea lol. I donāt recall the footsteps being so loud.
This could honestly be solved by giving Predator a prep phase alla Rainbow Six Siege.
We know Predators have more than thermal vision in that mask, in depth scanners, signal interceptors, an extensive codex of information of all prey they have hunted etc.
Give Predator the ability to see the fire teams objectives and some more trap variety, they always observe their prey before hunting it anyway and it would put that trap spotter perk to better use too cuz right now Predator only has the bear trap.
Bide your timeā¦ Thereās only fifteen minutes to a match. That isnāt enough to bide time. Why is there even a timer to begin with? It just adds an unnecessary time constraint. The Predator is supposed to stalk and plan his attacks. Fiften minutes isnāt enough time to do that with the FTās objectives taking on a few minutes and they can be at the extraction zone before youāve even had a chance to plan your attack.
Like you said these slow berserkers because for some reason the fire team can hold pace with a predator why should I only be able to swing twice? Which movie have you seen where a berserker level predator jumps down and swings twice to get parried by the human everytime? And the caster? I can hardly hit with it by the time Iāve gotten the steady shot Iāve been shot twelve times had six nades thrown and a hot turkey shoved up my rear end because fire team can spot the predator a mile away even in cloak
See this is what Iām talking about. Why does he need to growl in an idle animation. They need to scrap the game and start again.
i always hunt the predator with the low HP class and a knife to have fun bcs otherwise he is a joke.
This is enough for me here to say pred needs a big buff and so does the overall game mode
Had to make an account now to add my 2 cents.
Playing as the Predator is NOT fun. The Pred is underpowered, the only people saying it isnāt so is the people that love their knife parryās and tea bagging after a successful Pred kill. Iām pretty sure this isnāt how the game was meant to play outā¦ and if it is - I invested in the wrong game by mistake.
Now, I am someone who has destroyed fireteams quickly as the Predator but more often than not against PS4 players that were extremely unorganised (just saying, not having a go at console players as Iāve had some organised ps4 teams ruin me as well). The problem is, when I did win - i didnāt feel joy. It still wasnāt fun. I just knew they were new or just not that good. I like a challenge. However when you have average or above players it doesnāt become a challenge, it becomes a frustrating clunky mess where Iām wasting my time. I might as well leave the game and avoid the mic taunting from people that know they canāt be beaten.
I havenāt actually unlocked berserker and combo stick yet as Iāve already lost interest and stopped playing the game due to the broken state.
To the people saying ābut the original movie, killing 1 at a timeā ya ya.
No. Just no.
I rewatched the film yesterday (the one good thing that has come of this experience) and the things I would say about the comparison:
In the movie, the predator (after realising what they were up against) wasnāt spotted everytime it came near Dutchās team, they didnāt pump it with bullets so it had to go and heal every scene, it didnāt sound like this loud heavy beast stomping around (infact it was mostly completely silent - even at full sprint to take out Dillan by wristblade it looked fast, nimble, and silent), the team was literally under the impression they were all going to die, it was able to get right behind Dutch without any of the team seeing/realising even with them ALL watching Dutch closely (the scene he uses himself as bait), need I go on?
Itās not the playing experience anybody wants and it needs addressed. Iām already done with the game for the time being but will contemplate coming back if I see some major updates and changes made in the coming weeks. I already tried for a refund but Epic Games denied me due to playing over 2 hours.

Because the caster over charges too fast, splash damage is minimal, drawing from the same energy pool when you need your cloak just to avoid being spotted 50+ times in a row and the only perk for it worth a damn is dithered lense.
The shit hit boxes donāt help either and players just jumping around is apparently enough to not get hit even at point blank cuz apparently thereās immunity frames in there somewhere.
Itās not worth the bother.
